We analyze thickness-shear vibration of an AT-cut quartz plate with elliptical electrodes. The electrodes are essentially optimal in the sense of Mindlin in that they approximately satisfy the criterion for Bechmann's number in every direction. The results of our analysis suggest that optimal crystal blank geometry is essentially elliptical. We also suggest a way of machining elliptical crystal blanks.

The primary objective of modal identification for variable thickness quartz plates is to ascertain their dominant operating mode, which is essential for examining the vibration of beveled quartz resonators. These beveled resonators are plate structures with varying thicknesses. While the beveling process mitigates some spurious modes, it still presents challenges for modal identification.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on using shear horizontal (SH) guided wave transducers made from near stoichiometric lithium niobate (NSLN) for structural health monitoring in high-temperature environments.
- The optimized NSLN transducers effectively transmitted and received SH waves across a frequency range of 100-350 kHz, producing strong signals even at 650 °C.
- The results showed that these transducers had improved defect detection capabilities, with a signal-to-noise ratio of 16.1 dB at high temperatures, highlighting their potential for practical applications in structural monitoring.

The beveling process is an important process in the manufacturing of resonators, which has a significant impact on the frequency stability of resonators. Without understanding the frequency characteristics of the resonator after beveling, it is impossible to accurately design the beveled resonators. Thus, in order to investigate the vibration characteristics of AT-cut beveled resonators, we investigated the high-frequency vibration in this work by using the subregional geometric fitting method (SGFM) based on Mindlin's plate theory.

Excitation of a pure guided wave with a controllable wavefield is essential in structural health monitoring (SHM). For example, a unidirectional-propagation guided wave can significantly reduce the complexity of signal interpretations by avoiding unwanted reflections. However, few transducers are currently capable of exciting a pure unidirectional-propagation guided wave, which cannot satisfy the emerging demands from the field of SHM.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined how varying the thickness ratios of a double-layered thickness-shear resonator affects the temperature characteristics of resonance frequency using a CaTaGaSiO single crystal.
- Different specimens with thickness ratios of x = 0.25, 0.33, and 0.50 were tested, showing that temperature characteristics varied based on resonance mode order for lower ratios but remained consistent for the highest ratio.
- A new predictive equation related to electric flux density in dual substrates was developed, yielding reliable predictions for temperature characteristics in the fundamental resonance mode.
